Loneliness Of a Great City

A great city like q great desert, is 8
lonely spot, not to it's habitues, for
even the desert is a home to some
forms of life, but to all whocome from
other parts and who learn that pain
full truth that a. crowd is not company.
How shockingly this fact is brought
before us by the recent suicide Of a
young woman brought from the coun-
try by her husband and who only
survived her wedding day a fortnight.
They took board, and the husbands
business kept him absent the greater
part of the time. The young bridefell
into dependency which became real
madness. She was crazed by solitude
and sought relief in self-inficted death.
It is great mistake for men to bring
country brides hither, since the inevi-
table solitude is a fearful trial, OF
which / have met many painful in
stances. Business men are required
to devote most of their time to their
regular vocations and even boarding
houses afford but little relief to lone
illness. The unfortunate woman left
among her last directions the request:
"Send me home to my mother in
Ohio" Poor creature, she should not
have left Ohio to pine and perish in
the solitude OF q great city.

A Popular Emperor.
From the London Times.

One or two days a week his Majesty
receives all corners who have applied
to be received, and he receives them
alone. Every applicant takes his
turn. A master Of ceremonies opens
u door, the visitor walks in and finds
himself face to face with the Emperor,
who is unattended. The door closes
and the petitioner may say to the
Emperor what he likes. ~
There is no chamberlain or secre-
tary to intimidate him. The Emperor
stands in a plainly furnished study, in
undress uniform, without a, star or
grand Gordon, and greets everybody
with an engaging smile and q good
natured gesture of the hand which
seems to say: "There Is nv ceremony
here. Tell ne your business, and if I
can help you will" :
There is nothing petty or eyasiye in
him. He is a monarch who replies by
Yes or No. but always with SO
much courtesy that the humblest of
his subjects receives from him at de-
parting the same bow as he vouchsafes
to ambassadors. a most lovable
trait in him is that whenever he. sees
anybody nervouaat his presence he
makes the audience last until, by his
kind endeavors, the nervousness has
been completely dispelled. 3

Battle OF Waterloo.

In an article on "Waterloo Week
(June Is was the anniversary OF the
battle OF Waterloo) the London Stand
ard saws:
:'Maxwell has fallen into positive
error by saying that Wellington re-
crossed the battle-ground and arrived
in Brussels for supper-an honor
which Napoleon had promised to con-
fer upon that ancient city. 1t was to
the inn at Waterloo that the British
hero returned to sup sparingly and to
retire early to rest; but he was awak-
ened by DR.. Horne, who had brought
the list of killed and wounded, and, rs
the great Captain sat up in bed to lis

smirched and grimy with the MOL

wounds were not mortal, but he had
been horribly cut and slashed by the
French cuirassiers. The British Off

and they were willing enough that the
brave Hollander should share their
supper; but bed was q

seen to rise, and whisper to the Dutch
man, and lead him from the room.
This young gentleman had acted as
aide-de-camp to an, English general
who had fallen early in the struggle.
The aide-de-camp reverently laid the
corpse of his chief across his own sad

The Secrecy Touching Their Use Enjoined ON E
Minister.
From the New Y ork Tribune.
The other day the new minister in a
smart Connecticut manufacturing viii
lage started out to make calls. After
ring the bell at the front entrance of
one of the few new substantial, old
fashioned farm-houses still standing
on the outskirts without gaining
response, he followed a. narrow foot
path around the house to g. door
opened toward the sunrise, upon
which he raped gently with the head
OF his cane.
Immediately the sharp click of a
slipping bolt was heard, and the good
natured face OF stout, elderly woman
appeared in the slowly widening crack,
and the expectant dominic was as
founded by this query:
"Look-a- here, now, sir, you amt a.

AT sTRATFORD ON AVON.
Dr. Holmes Tells Of His Visit to the Home Of
ts Shakespeare.

Dr.. Holmes Tells Of His Visit to the Home Of
Shakespeare.
Ny previous visit was q hurried one.
Itook but q glimpse and then went
on my way. Now, for nearly q week
I was a resident Of Stratford on Avon.
How shall I describe the perfectly
ideal beauty Of the new home in which
l found myself? 1t is q fine house, sur
rounded by delightful grounds which
skirt the banks of the Avon for con-
siderable distance and come close up
to the enclosure of the Church of the
Holy Trinity, beneath the floor OF
which lie the mortal remains of
Shakespeare. The Avon is one of
those narrow English rivers IN which
half a dozen boats might lie side by
side, but hardly wide enough for a
race between two rowing abreast of
each other. just here the Avon is
comparatively broad and quiet, there
being a dam a little lower down the
stream. The waters were q perfect
mirror, as I saw them on one OF the
still days we had at Stratford. I do
not remember ever before seeing COWS
walking with their legs in the air, as I
saw them reflected in the stream.
Along the banks the young people
were straying. / wondered if the
youthful swans quoted Shakespeare
to their lady loves. Could they help
recalling Romeo and Juliet? 1t is
quite impossible to think of any hu-
man being growing up in this place
which claims Shakespeare as it's child,
about the streets OF which he ran as
boy, on the waters of which he must
have foated, without having his i'm
age ever present, Is it so? There are
some boys from 8 to 10 or IL years
old, fishing in the Avon, close by the
grounds OF "Avonbank," the place at
which we are staying. I call to the
little group: ~ say, boys, who was
this man Shakespeare people talk SO
much about?" Boys turn around and
look up with plentiful lack OF intelli.
gence in their countenances. Don't
you know who he was nor what he
was?" Boys looked at each other,
but confess ignorance. Let US try the
universal stimulant of human facul-
ties. "Here are some pennies for the
boy that will tell me what Mr.. Shake
speare was" The biggist boy finds
his tongue at last. HE was writer
he wrote plays" That was as
much as l could get out OF the young
ling.
remember meeting some boys under
the monument upon Bunker Hill, and
testing their knowledge as I had that
OF the Stratford boys. "What is this
great stone pillar here for?'' asked.
"Battle fought here-great BATTLE"
"Who fought?" "Americans and
British" Z never hear the express
sion Britishers.) "Who was thegeneral
on the American slde?" Don't know
Gen. Washington or somebody"
What is an old battle, though it
may have settled the destinies of a.
nation, to a game of baseball between
the Boston and Chicago mines which
is to come off tomorrow, or to game
of marbles which Tom and Dick are
just going to play together under the
shadow OF the great obelisk which COM
memorates the confict?-Dr. Holmes
in The Atlantic.

cealed himself when Jackson compell-
ed him to answer the summons of the
court. Bean did not like the appear

said did not belong to him, and in
his anger he took knife and slit its
ear. He was indicted by the grand
jury, and warrant issued for his ar.

reported that he could not arrest the

The judge got off the bench without
saying another word, went home and
buckled on his pistols and proceeded
alone to little hill where Bean was
hiding. He called Bean and told him
he must obey thelaw. Bean said: Go
away, general, l don't want to hurt
you. Deliver yourself up to me at
once said the general. Bean said he
would not, when bang went the pistol.
The ball passed through Beams whisk-
ers and grazed his cheek and the scalp
just above the ear. He cried out
quickly: Don't shoot again, General,

jail by the general as a special bailif,

Now comes the painful part OF nv
story. From the moment Campbell
became q confirmed opium-smoker.:
He used to worry me by the hour
with the description OF his horrible
pleasures. Day by day Campbell got
thinner, yelloWer, and more haggard-
looking. Wugsby, who had long ago
christened him the Heather Chinee,"
declared that his eyes turned up at the
corners, and that he was growing pig
tail. That was a ridiculous exaggera.
ton, OF course; but day by day Camp
DELL did certainly grow more and more
like disreputable Chinaman. He
became careless about his appearance,
| and. to my professional eye, it seemed
as If he had not long to live. remon-
strated with him, but to no purpose; he
| confessed to me that he was now
determined smoker OF opium.
| For nearly fortnight he disappear
ed from the Rice and Curry Club; then
I saw the announcement OF his death
! in the Times. A week afterwards, a
Mr.. Blenkinsopp called on me at the
| club.
"You are Dr. Brown" hesaid-''Dr.
Robert Brown"
'"That is my NAME" I replied.
| II believe my late client, poor John
Campbell, was friend of yours?"
ooh, certainly; I knew him as an
acquaintance. We were both men,
bers here"
ut will prove rather a fortunate
acquaintance for you, DR.. Brown, for
he has left you every farthing he pos.
sessed."
"Good gracious! why?" was all ]
could say.
1T will amount to 100000, rather
more than less; it's all invested in
Chinese AS, except the cash at tho
bank. But there is condition; will
read it to you"
He pulled document from his peck
ct and read as follows:
| "But I attach a condition to the
above bequest: it is that said Robert
Brown, doctor Of medicine. shall de-
vote four hours OF his timo per diem,
and sam of not less that $500 per
annum, to the amelioration OF the
condition of poor Chinese in London,
and that he shall devote some portion
OF his time to the study:of the Chinese
language"
II congratulate you, DR.. Brown"
said the attorney. II suppose you
will accept the conditions, and prove
! the will at once?"
OF course l accepted. I asked Mr..
Blenkinsopp to dinner, one of our din
ners, and he shed tears ofgratitude as
he swallowed the vegetable curry and
tamarind fish for which we are so
justly celebrated.
There is nothing more to tell. I
took the 100000 out OF Chinese AS,
and bought consols. I visit the East
End of London for four hours every
day, and, strange to say, i rather take
an interest III the work. am studying
the Chinese language, and am now

Concerning Ex-ChampiOns.

From the Philadelphia Times.
In a. line with Hanlan's third defeat
was the disappointing figure cut by
VIM. Sexton in the billiard tourna-
ment at Washington. Every old bill
lard player recalls the time when Sex
ton made his appearance in New York
and gave his first exhibition of the
way he had learned to nurse the ivor.
les among the mountains Yankeeland.
The Dions and DAILY, with several
more of the old-timers OF that day,
glanced with contempt at their clerical
looking rival, with his smooth face,
long coat, and immaculate white tie.
A tournament was in progress at the
time, and his playing was the only
feature that rescued it from the COM
mon~place. The old players. accus.
toned to brilliant around-the-table
shots, were amazed at the delicate
manner in which Sexton
coaxed hundreds OF points out
of one along the-rail innings, and
watched him with bated breath. When
he reached the end of the rail they
heaved sigh of relief, but it was
premature sigh, as they subsequently
discovered. Instead of breaking the
balls, as they supposed he would, he
quietly changed the relative positions
of the cue and object balls by g. single
skiIlful stroke, and ran up the rail
again, while they wondered when he
would stop. Ii memory is not faulty,
he took first money, and for a time
carried the champions medal. But in
few yea1s, or months, Schaeffer and
Slosson had appropriated his meth
DDS, and, practising diligently with
them, wrested the laurels from their
teachers hands. Now Daily, whom he
defeated in that tournament, turns
the tables upon him and administers
such a drubbing to the ex-champion
as the ex-champion never gave him.
But what, after all, is the length of
any champion supremacy? Certain
ly not many of them hold their sway
as long as Hanlan and John L. Sulli-
van.
